    Housekeeper recognized for good work during pandemic 29 Mar 21

    Housekeeper recognized for good work during pandemic

    Kari Purvis is thrilled to win her first workplace award at 42 years old.

    Speaking from Helen Henderson Care Centre where she works as a Housekeeper, the Yarker woman smiles at the news she is the home’s Employee of the Month for April 2021.

    “I love it,” she says with a smile about her job. “This is what I was meant to be. I’ve been a cleaner all of my life, but I feel like I fit here.”

    When she was younger, Kari was close to becoming a Personal Support Worker when she realized it wasn’t what she wanted to do with her life. She switched directions and started a career in cleaning and cabinet building.

    After spending six years out west, she returned to Kingston early last year to be closer to family. It was one of the best decisions of her life.

    “I learned a lot and met a lot of nice people,” she says about her time in western Canada. “But home is where my heart is. I don’t have a big family so it’s nice to be close to them.”

    She quickly accepted a job at Helen Henderson Care Centre where she was worked for the past year. She joined the home in April 2020 as a temporary Universal Worker to help residents and staff through the COVID-19 pandemic. She was offered a job as a housecleaner a few months after arriving at the home.

    “I love this job,” she says kindly. “I couldn’t picture myself being a PSW now. I love learning about the residents and interacting with them.”
    When she’s not at work, Kari likes to spend time with family, ride her bike and walk.

    She describes herself as outgoing, friendly, generous, kind and easy going.

    “Kari is an excellent addition to our housekeeping team,” says Tim Keyes, Environmental Services Manager. “She does a great job and is always willing to pick up extra shifts when needed.”

    Front-line health care worker wins workplace award, one-year after pandemic declared 29 Mar 21

    Front-line health care worker wins workplace award, one-year after pandemic declared

    A front-line health care worker has won her first workplace award, one-year after the COVID-19 pandemic began in Canada.

    Krista Whaley smiles when informed she is the Employee of the Month for April at Carveth Care Centre, a retirement lodge and long-term care home in Gananoque.

    “It’s good,” she says when asked about her work. “I like spending time with the residents and getting to know them.”

    For the past 16 years, Krista has provided front-line health care to 104 residents in the nursing home. She has been a Personal Support Worker for 22 years.

    Speaking on behalf of the home, Assistant Director of Care Lynn Vereecken notes, “Krista arrives at work ready to do her job. She always knows the answers to my questions and is quick to help when needed. She is a good problem solver. She is direct, kind and gentle with the residents. She is always resident-focused. I’m sure she wears a smile behind her mask.”

    “I do what they ask,” says Krista kindly, clearly pleased with the feedback. “I work to the best of my ability. I learned a good work ethic from my father who was in the military.”

    Married with three children, Krista is a busy mother who prefers not to be the centre of attention.

    “I don’t like to be the centre of anything,” she says with a laugh.

    Asked to describe herself, Krista uses words such as easy going, hardworking, considerate and a good sense of humour.

    When she’s not at work, she is usually tackling housework. 

    “The only time I do anything is on vacation when I go to Prince Edward Island (PEI) which hasn’t been possible this past year because of the pandemic.”
